<p>The pluginplug-in, with two additional SQL queries, joins the original data sample $wp_query->posts all meta fields, all files and images, for each image the direct url to small, medium, and large image is formed. There’s no need to use functions the_post_thumbnail  and get_post_meta.</p>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<p>So let’s say we go to the home page of our blog, WordPress gives us a list of the latest 10 records. Let me remind you these are already in the global object in the array $wp_query-> posts. Let’s begin from creating a list of ID (number of records to which they are stored in the database).</p>
<h4>Form the first SQL query:</h4>
<ul>
<li>$query = “SELECT $wpdb->posts.* FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE  $wpdb->posts.post_parent IN(’21’,’29’,’30’,’35’,’38’,’42’,’46’,’48’,’49’,’55’) AND $wpdb->posts.post_parent<br />
AND $wpdb->posts.post_type = ‘attachment'”;</li>
</ul>
<p>A normal translation is «find all the child entries for entries with the numbers (’21 ‘, ’29?, ’30 ‘, ’35?, ’38 ‘, ’42?, ’46 ‘, ’48?, ’49 ‘, ’55 ‘)». And the type of records required to be «attachment». That is, in short, we find all the files (attachment) which we downloaded for our 10 entries.</p>
<p>Again we form a list of ID: the first 10 ID entries and add the ID of files (attachments). Attachments as ordinary records are stored in one table – wp_posts.</p>
<h4>Now we use the function update_meta_cache:</h4>
<ul>
<li>$all_meta = update_meta_cache(‘post’, $ar_all_id);</li>
</ul>
<p>$ar_all_id – here are the original recordings and attachments</p>
<p>So everything just gets in the cache and subsequent calls get_post_meta will derive value from the cache. The rest is a matter of technique – the data must be carefully arranged, not mixing anything up. All meta fields are added to the $post->meta array, and files into an $post->files array and files are immediately sorted by number order (when downloading it, you can specify the sort order).<br />
In addition, for each file, if it is an image, the full path to the thumbnails is calculated: small (thumbnail), average (medium) and the complete picture (full).</p>
<h4>WordPres 4:</h4>
<p>The default filter is only connected to the main query using is_main_query().<br />
Does not work in is_admin() or is_page().</p>

<p>Get the Image is one of the most advanced thumbnail/image scripts ever created for WordPress.</p>
<p>It is used everywhere from small blogs to large, enterprise-level solutions like <a href="http://vip.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress.com VIP</a>.  Get the Image offers something for everybody. Much of the reason for its success is because it uses standard WordPress code and methods for doing what it needs to do, which is to simply grab images.</p>
<p>The plugin was designed to make the process of adding thumbnail, featured, slider, gallery, and other images to your blog much easier, but it’s so much more than that.  It is an image-based representation of your WordPress posts.</p>
<p>This is a highly intuitive script that can grab an image by custom field input, WordPress’ featured image, post attachment, or extracting it from the post’s content.  Plus, a lot more!</p>
<h3>Before using</h3>
<p>Please note that Get the Image requires that you understand and know how to edit your theme’s PHP code, at least to the extent of copying and pasting one line of code.  If you’re not comfortable doing this, it’s best to ask that your theme author integrate the code necessary to support this plugin.</p>
<h3>A little history</h3>
<p>The original plugin was in launched 2008, which means it has several years of solid testing and development behind it.  It was created at a time when WordPress had very little native media support.  At the time, it was mostly used as a “thumbnail” script for magazine-/news-style sites.  But, it has grown into a much more flexible script over the years.</p>
<p>Even with WordPress’ more recent advancements in image management, many users still continue using this plugin because it offers a more robust image script than core WordPress.</p>
<p>The plugin has been downloaded 100,000s of times and is used on millions of sites as part of WordPress theme packages.</p>
<p>Other image plugins have come and gone, but Get the Image has stood the test of time with several years of successful installs and happy users.</p>
